JUNIOR PLAY CLASS HISTORV We set the stage in 1939 when 57 amateurs entered the new elementary building. Our teacher was Miss Richardson. From 1940 to 1946 our teachers were: first grade, Miss Tappan; second grad, Miss Gibson; third grade, Miss Mackley and Miss Metzger; fourth grade, Miss Glassford, Mrs. Ashley and Miss Metzger; fifth grade, Mrs. Ashley, Mrs. Clarkson and Mrs. Weaver; and sixth grade, Mrs. Stine. We had our first real glimpse of High School when we entered the auditorium to participate in Honors Convocation at the close of our grade school years. Our first year in High School proved to be one of puzzled confusion and commotion. Our advisors were Miss Burns and Mrs. Sass. Our first real money making project was our carnival concession. To help make us known Joanne Curry and Jack Varty held the title of Prince and Princess. In the eighth grade Mr. Olson and Mrs. Wiley were our advisors. Mr. Olson left at the end of the semester, and Mr. Burgoyne came to take his place. In the ninth grade our class enrollment increased to 93 when students from St. Mary ' s and the rural schools entered S. C. H. S. The big event of our Freshman year was our first school party, the tra- ditional May Queen Dance. The dance was staged May 27 and was given the name, Flower Fantasy. This shall always be remembered by the class of ' 52 as one of their most outstanding accomplishments during their high school years . We had then become Sophomores and had the privilege of sharing the third floor with the Upperclassmen. Carol Tassie was chosen by the class to be a Homecoming attendant. In the spring we chose a company and ordered our class rings so that we would be able to have them early in our Junior year. When we returned to school in the fall we found ourselves only one step away from the finale of our High School years. We were then Juniors and our advisors were Miss Moran, Mr. Burgoyne and Mr. Thornton. Elaine Smith was Student Council President, and Sis Joachim was Secretary. Our Clairvoyant was headed by Shirley Beaudua, and Carol Tassie was Yell Leader. Our class rings arrived in November and made us feel quite important. In December we held a bake sale, and in April came our Junior play. Marie Stone and George Roegner played the leads in The Divine Flora. Both the bake sale and the play helped us financially in preparing for the Junior -Senior Banquet which was the highlight of our Junior year. We decided to entertain the Seniors at the St. Clair Inn. We were served a delicious turkey dinner and everyone thorougly enjoyed it as Ray Carlin played dinner music. Senator Frank Beadle was the guest speaker for the evening. The Holdens graciously furnished the orchestra for a dance which was held in the Elementary Gym immediately following the program. The class of ' 52 is very proud to have put on a Banquet that shall long be remembered by all who attended as one of the nicest every held. 14 CLASS HISTORV At last we have reached our long awaited goal. Some of us are happy, others are sad. Nevertheless, even though it is hard to believe, we are Seniors. Our advisors, who we are very fortunate and lucky to have again are Miss Moran, Mr. Burgoyne and Mr. Thornton. Mr. Thornton was unable to finish our Senior year with us, because he was called to active duty by the Navy and had to leave at the end of the semester. We were all very sorry to see him leave, and we shall never forget the many things he did for our class. Our class officers are: George Roegner . Jack Varty . .Elaine Smith . Sally Gregory President . Vice-President . Secretary . T reasurer . This year “Sis Joachim was elected to be Student Council President and Sally Gregory as Secretary. Claudia Cain become editor of the Echo and Mary Eou Distlerath, editor of Clairvoyant. The Seniors played a big part in the Homecoming which was held in October. Carol Tassie was elected by the student body to be Homecoming Queen, and Pat Johnson and Nancy McMain were her attendants from the Senior Class. Being known as a class to start new things or change the old, we did not fail when it came to the Halloween Carnival. Instead of having the traditional Bowery, we carried out the theme of ’’South Pacific. ” This we found to be very successful by the profits. Early in November we had our Senior pictures taken by Askar-Shain. Everyone was very satisfied with the results. November 16 and 17, we really let loose on The Thursday Murders” which was the title of our Senior play. Nancy McMain and Howard Sass played the leads. We were very pleased with the crowds we had both nights and the profits helped to expand our treasury for the Senior trip. All year we were very concerned with making all the money we could, and selling at home basketball games came in very helpful. We also checked coats and served refreshments at the Diamond Crystal Veteran’s Christmas party and at the Firemen ' s Ball. We are now looking forward to the Senior trip to Washington which will take place in May. When we return, we plan on enjoying the Junior -Senior Banquet which will be given to us by the Juniors. Then the Senior Prom and soon after GRADUATION! ! ! ! 15 CLASS WILL We, the class of 1952, being of sound mind do hereby make, devise and declare this to be our last will and testament, hereby revoking and rendering null and void all other wills and testaments heretofore made, devised and declared by us.

Through his untiring efforts and under his guidance the first annual since 1927 was pub- lished in 1949. It was Mr. Burgoyne ' s interest, enthusiasm and encouragement which helped us through the many discouragements and difficulties we encountered. He has helped to make our work enjoyable, and we trust that this annual will be a reminder of his fourth year at St. Clair High. To Mr. Burgoyne, who has stood four-square behind us all the way, this volume of the CLAIRVOYANT is dedicated with all the fervor and respect that our young lives can hold. 21 ADMINISTRATION G.

BAND The St. Clair High School Band under it ' s director Carl Eggers has a mem- bership of sixty-five this year. The group added much to our football games this past season. The stirring band music of our national anthem came drifting across the gridiron to offi- cially start the game. The Band presented many enjoyable half time programs and was always on hand with On St. Clair High after every touchdown. They participated in Sperry ' s Christmas Parade again this year. The following musicians were selected by Mr. Eggers to represent the Band in The River District Select Band: C. Joachim, T. Seiss, C. Tassie, M. Stone, H. Sass, P. Laird, C. Sparling, R. Zimmer and D. Tassie. The Band Festival was held on April 30, in Port Huron and the group again turned in a fine per- formance. The following were elected officers for the Band Club: President, C. Tassie; Vice President, T. Seiss; Secretary, M. Stone; and Treasurer, P. Laird. MAJORETTES FIRST row, left to right- r R • BaiJey, Mey . The majorettes have had a year filled with many activities. Their new uniforms arrived in time for the first football game. Their were many n oticeable comments on the attractiveness of the uniforms. Tryouts will be held in the spring to fill the positions left by two graduating students. Majorettes remain in active service until graduation as it is necessary to learn new routines and how to twirl well. This is difficult as they have no ad- visor to aid them. Cathy Cartwright and Cathy Becker, both of the third grade, marched in two football games. Regular activities carried out by the majorettes this year have been; marching at football games, participating in a concert, Michigan State Fair, Sperry s Parade and a series of parades in the summer. Three new routines have been worked up this year. They are looking forward to the District Board Festival in the spring. 41 FIRST ROW, LEFT TO RIGHT: G. Noble, R. Mitchell, D. Meyers, M. Meyers, D.

The Glee Club has participated in several community activities. They have appeared before the P. T. A. , the Rotary, and before the student body. They also presented a ’’Christmas Musical, and a school dance, The Blue Note. The club also participated in the County Musical Festival along with many other schools. These festivals are presented annually under the direction of a guest conductor . We feel that we have reached the aim of the Glee Club and have enjoyed this years work very much. We wish to express a special thanks to Mr. Scott, our director. 42 Male Glee Club FIRST ROW, LEFT TO RIGHT: E. Kindsvater, J. Singelyn, W. LaCroix, D. Jorgensen, R. Gauthier. SECOND ROW: R.

This year Myers and Company, Inc. were again selected to print the CLAIRVOYANT. Preliminary plans were drawn up early in the fall, but actual work was not started until later on. Our first deadline was February 10, and forty-two pages were completed at that time. Activity and group pictures were taken and the first pages were sent out. Under the untiring efforts of our advisers, Mr. Burgoyne and Miss Moran, we completed the book. This CLAIRVOYANT marks the fourth year, after a lapse of twenty-two years, St. Clair High has put out an annual. The publishing of the CLAIRVOYANT has been difficult and financially embarassing at times. However, Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall. We take great pride in presenting the 1952 CLAIRVOYANT to you, our fellow students. May it recall many memorable occasions, not just today, but for many years to come. 44 ECHO STAFF The ECHO during the last school year claimed a new journalistic standard for itself. The front page is restyled, irrelevant reporting is minimized, and participation in ECHO production has increased. Since Journalism is now in the curriculm it gives the ECHO new vitality in its all-school coverage. Taking the ECHO to press, literally, brings the journal to its goal- -perfection.

The squad was very active during ail athletic contests and became an important part of inter-school athletics. Money was raised in many ways this year to help in the purchase of new uniforms. The new uniforms brought many favorable comments from students and faculty alike. Special events this year that were organized by the cheerleaders included a snakedance, and a pep rally before the Homecoming Game. Mrs. Finnigan, Girls’ Physical Education Director, was adviser again this year and aided the girls with drills and helped arrange a trip to Ann Arbor to a cheerleader ' s clinic at the University of Michigan early this fall.
